Michele Bachmann, "Lyin Ass Bitch,"* was on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon tonight. If you don't know, Bachmann is Congresswoman from Minnesota, and is running for the 2012 Republican Presidential nomination. She had a bump when she entered the race but is mostly polling in 5th or 6th place these days. Some people consider her a crazier ( and less hot) version of Sarah Palin.
"The Roots" are Jimmy Fallon's house band, and they always try to play some walk on music that is personally customized for each guest. It might be a play on their name, personal background, movie character/roles, or some kind of inside joke. Tonight they played the Fishbone Song "Lyin Ass Bitch" for Michelle Bachmann. When they first started playing, I felt like something was up. " I made out " She's a la la, a la la" but couldn't figure it out.
Then Questlove took to twitter, and let it be known that this walkon song was "snark" and linked to the iTunes page for the Fishbone EP "Fishbone," which included a track listing. The obvious choice was "Lyin Ass Bitch." I checked the lyrics and verified. Sure enough that was it. If I weren't such a Jerk, I'd almost feel a little bad for Michelle Bachmann.
*Now I'm not saying Michelle Bachman is a "Lying Ass bitch." I'm just reporting this.
